I believe it was destined for me to meet Bill solely by accident so my life can change 180 degrees. I was randomly selected for a diversity visa (DV) and I wanted to adjust my status (AoS) while in the US as I had a job with an H1-b visa then. Initially, I filed my DS-260 application requesting to have my DV interview in a consulate outside the US. But, because of COVID, consular interviews were delayed and I found a job in the USA in June. I have consulted many attorneys who were not excited to take my case as AoS takes 1-2 years while I only had 3 months for my case to get approved. However, Bill decided to take the risk and was confident that there was a very good chance of success if we have planned it right.
From day one, Bill and his associate (Naiara) worked tirelessly to get my paperwork done.
Their efforts, efficiency, swiftness, and professionalism were like no other! They updated me every day and every step of the way. They made contacting and communicating with them super easy and accessible. They knew exactly what they were doing from the beginning, always anticipated what might go wrong and had plan B for them. Their enormous effort in contacting KCC (which was extremely difficult then) and pushing them to the limits made THE difference.
I have no single doubt that they will be my first choice in all future immigration issues/queries, either for me or for my family and friends.
HSPRD (and, specifically, Attorney Kate Schwartz) handled an employment matter for me recently. It was an emotional experience, and came at a time when I was very vulnerable. Ms. Schwartz was outstanding in two ways: First, she has a keen knowledge of applicable laws, and is brilliant in expressing that. She also is quick to conclude challenging legal matters effectively and efficiently. Second, Ms. Schwartz is exceptionally caring and never made me feel like I was just another client, just another case. She made it clear that she truly cared what happened to me, and truly wanted to help. I highly recommend HSPRD and Kate Schwartz.
Employment
Kate was exceptional to work with throughout the legal process. She was kind and empathetic to my situation, strategic and knowledgeable in how to best approach resolution, and ultimately helped me achieve the best-case outcome. Kate is an excellent employment attorney and I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate situation of needing an employment attorney.
Domestic Violence Disclosure Discrimination
No one expects to find themselves in this situation, but when it happens, choose legal counsel wisely. I am a female executive with over 2 decades as a top leader, with global personal brand eminence, and I love to win, especially as a team. My personal life took an unexpected turn into domestic violence, and after disclosing the situation to my employer, I was terminated. Going through a contentious divorce, 2 kids in college, and having fled my home for safety, this happened. Lori Deem was my confidant and heroine. Not only because we deeply partnered and she drove a more lucrative and fairer outcome on my behalf, but also as an objective, kind human, who listened, shot me straight, and validated what happened to me. Not only did she negotiate a more favorable outcome, but her support, both professionally and emotionally, allowed me to process my situation much faster and put it behind me, to focus on my future. She included a colleague, Kate Schwarz, on our calls, who I also love! She is a great listener, intelligent, and added additional insights that helped all of us approach with the most solid strategy. The best part is that I gained new friends whom I know I will be in touch with and work with as I engage in my next endeavor. Thank you, Lori. Thank you, Kate. Thank you both for believing in me, counseling me, supporting me, and winning together! I hate we met this way, but I’m eternally grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I had the best experience ever with this business! Kate Schwartz was amazing! I wouldn’t hesitate a second if I needed their services again. I’d recommend this business to anyone looking to receive top notch customer service!
